"Sitting and watching the cloud peaks turn, refreshing is peace of mind. The sun and the moon shine together, and the great path of heaven and earth comes. Only when I fly in the air do I feel that it is easy to fly, and the dust of my horsetail whisk has not touched my clothes. Go or stay in the world, free to cross the vast expanse.”
After the Empress Dowager heard this, she repeated it in her heart again. Sitting and watching the clouds spin, refreshing is peace of mind." Good, good, good. Sitting and watching the clouds spin, refreshing is peace of mind. Good, good, good!" The empress dowager was in a good mood.
Jiang Ruyan glared at Nalan Youyou angrily. She really didn't know what kind of luck Nalan Youyou had to be so lucky that she couldn't kill her!
Nalan Jingjing, who was sitting at the lowest position, kept twisting her handkerchief. Her actions were exactly the same as Zhuang Huaijin's. Indeed, the mother and daughter had the same little movements.
Nalan Youyou was kneeling in the middle. She could feel the gazes from all around her. Other than hatred, there was also a hint of admiration circulating around her, making Nalan Youyou feel quite unhappy.
Looking at the direction of his gaze, Nalan Youyou's expression darkened. Did Beiming Ye think that she would like him? What a joke!
The Empress and the Emperor looked at each other, and their eyes were a little more satisfied with Nalan Youyou. However, it seemed that half of her sons had taken a fancy to her today. How could this be good?
Nalan Youyou knelt on the ground and did not move. The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction and lowered her head to say something to the Empress. However, her voice was too soft, so even the maids beside her did not hear her.
"Nalan Youyou, bengong asks you again, do you know how to draw?”After hearing the empress dowager's words, the empress said. Nalan Youyou glanced at the Empress. Just as she was about to say that she didn't know how to do it, she heard the Empress say to herself," It's still the same rule. The time is half an incense's time." Let's begin." The Empress waved her hand and a few eunuchs carried a long table over. On it were things for painting.
Nalan Youyou was completely dumbfounded when she saw the scene in front of her. What did the Empress and the Empress Dowager mean? Would he not be willing if he didn't kill him?!
Beiming Gu raised his eyebrows and looked at the Empress in surprise. He didn't know what the Empress was up to. Beiming Yu started howling again, but the Empress Dowager glared at her and shut her mouth obediently.
She sat at the side and looked at Nalan Youyou worriedly. Half an incense's time was really short. He wondered if Nalan Youyou would succeed this time.
Nalan Youyou looked at the long table in front of her and the corners of her mouth almost imperceptibly closed. Were the Empress and Empress Dowager going to waste their time with her today? Forget it, forget it. Since it was already at the end of the road, he couldn't push it. He would just take it.
Nalan Youyou let out a long sigh and thanked the Empress before standing up. Jiang Ruyan didn't know what the Empress and the others were thinking, but she thought that the Empress was taking revenge on Nalan Youyou for not taking the initiative to perform. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
The Empress and the Empress Dowager's tricks came one after another. Zhuang Huaijin and Nalan Jingjing followed the Empress's words and kept going up and down, almost repeating them in one breath.
The old madam was extremely worried. She kept praying in her heart that Nalan Youyou could pass this test. Otherwise, the Nalan family's face would really be trampled into the mud. What would he do then?
Nalan Peiyi had a weak personality, and now that the Emperor was by her side, he could only look at Nalan Youyou worriedly, not daring to step forward to apologize.
Nalan Youyou looked at the paper in front of her and lowered her head to ask," What does Your Majesty want me to draw?"”
"Yes, the questions this time will be simpler.”The Empress thought for a moment and said. However, her cunning smile made Nalan Youyou wary. This question would definitely not be easier than the previous one.
However, the heavens made Nalan Youyou's thoughts come true again. The Empress said," Miss Nalan also knows that the Empress Dowager is a good person. Today is also the Empress Dowager's birthday, so please draw a Guanyin painting for her.”
"Only the Guanyin Painting?" Nalan Youyou was stunned. Was the question that simple? That was impossible. Nalan Youyou had just finished speaking when the Empress made a hand gesture at her.
"The requirement is to draw a thousand Guanyin on this picture. Moreover, each of them had to have a clear and lifelike face to pass the test.”
"Ah? A thousand Guanyin?" There was an uproar on and off the stage. The paper on the table was only a square. Drawing a thousand Guanyin? How was that possible? Furthermore, the face had to be clear and lifelike. How was that possible? If he could really draw 1,000 Guanyin, he would definitely not be able to see their faces clearly. Wasn't this clearly making things difficult for Nalan Youyou?
Nalan Youyou looked at this piece of paper, which was not too big, and her expression was a little awkward. How could there be a thousand Guanyin on this piece of paper? How was that possible?
Seeing Nalan Youyou like this, the audience was filled with joy and worry for Nalan Youyou. Beiming Ye looked at Nalan Youyou, who was constantly being embarrassed by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, but he had his own wishful thinking in his heart. Today, he had given himself a chance. If the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager punished Nalan Youyou because of this, then he would plead for her and she would definitely marry him out of gratitude.
Beiming Ye's plan was in chaos. He looked at Nalan Youyou calmly and waited for Nalan Youyou to be punished by the Empress Dowager if she couldn't draw it.
Beiming Gu and Beiming Zhe looked at Nalan Youyou worriedly. If she really couldn't do it, they could only plead for her. She only hoped that she could appease the empress dowager and let Nalan Youyou be fine.
Nalan Youyou stood in front of the desk with a thoughtful expression. She waited until half of the time had passed before she picked up her pen and started drawing.
As time passed, the last drop of ash fell. The Empress said," Is Nalan Youyou's painting done?”
Nalan Youyou put down her brush and stood at the side respectfully." Replying to the Empress, it's done."”
"Oh? In that case, bring it up for bengong to see." Nalan Youyou's words had just finished when everyone on and off the stage exclaimed in surprise. Was this really drawn?!
Jiang Ruyan, Nalan Jingjing, and the others craned their necks, waiting to see Nalan Youyou's Thousand Guanyin Painting.
The two eunuchs picked up the map and handed it to the Empress Dowager and the others. The three of them were stunned." Nalan Youyou, do you have anything to say about this map?"”The Emperor looked at the painting and immediately understood the logic behind it. However, he still did not say anything and only showed the painting to everyone.
When they saw it, everyone exclaimed. There was only one Guanyin on the picture. Its face was clear and full of Buddha nature, but there was only one Guanyin on the picture.
"Nalan Youyou, how dare you! He actually dared to deceive the Emperor! The Empress said she wanted a thousand Guanyin, but you only drew one.”Jiang Ruyan exploded when she saw the picture.
Nalan Youyou didn't even bother to look at Jiang Ruhua. This person was too stupid to talk to her. When Beiming Ye heard Jiang Ruyan's words, he immediately stood up from his seat and walked to the center to kneel down at the Emperor." Father, Mother, please listen to your son. It's really difficult to draw a thousand Guanyin on this piece of paper. Please forgive Youyou on account of your son."”
"Hmm?" The Emperor looked at Beiming Ye coldly. His eyes were filled with displeasure. The word 'stupid' was written all over his dignified face. Nalan Youyou looked at Beiming Ye, who was putting on an act, and the disgust in her heart deepened.
Nalan Youyou looked at Beiming Ye coldly." Is it too early for Your Highness to plead for my daughter?"”Nalan Youyou was unhappy and spoke without much courtesy. She looked at Beiming Ye as if he was a bug.
Beiming Ye looked at Nalan Youyou in surprise. Her words had pulled the relationship between the two further, as if she was saying that she was overthinking things.
No matter how much Beiming Ye liked Nalan Youyou, he couldn't keep his face up anymore. "Youyou, how can you say that about me? I'm speaking up for you.”Beiming Ye suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and looked at Nalan Youyou with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing Nalan Youyou's disdainful and distant expression, the Emperor really couldn't be happy. Beiming Ye had lost all his face when he stopped.
"Beiming Ye, go back to your seat.”The Emperor shouted in a deep voice.
"Father!" Beiming Ye looked at the Emperor in confusion. The emperor glared at Beiming Ye in disgust and warned him to sit back down. Beiming Ye had no choice but to return to his seat. When he passed by Nalan Youyou, he whispered," Youyou, I will definitely protect you."”
Nalan Youyou pretended not to hear him. She bowed to the Emperor." Your Majesty, please allow my daughter to explain."”
The Emperor nodded in agreement.
Nalan Youyou then said," Your Majesty, please take a look. Is there any difference between this Guanyin Painting and the other Guanyin Paintings?”
The Empress Dowager looked at the picture and pointed at it." The Guanyin in this picture has many hands. However, the Empress's request was a thousand Guanyin, not so many hands.”
"Empress Dowager is wise." Nalan Youyou bowed." The Empress Dowager knows that this person only has one pair of hands. Gods are also cultivated by humans, so naturally, they only have one pair of hands. A thousand pairs of hands here naturally contained a thousand Guanyin.”
"..." Beiming Ye's face instantly darkened. If that was the case, he had lost a lot of face just now.
"Oh, I see! Good, good, good! Very good!" The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction." Nalan girl is really not bad. Not only is her appearance first-class, but her intelligence is also quite sharp. Not bad, not bad! Aijia is quite satisfied today."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Nalan Youyou knelt down to beg for mercy. On the other hand, Jiang Ruyan was gritting her teeth in anger. What the hell was this! A thousand Guanyin statues were finished off by her opponent after drawing a thousand of them?!
"En, this widow said that if you can make a painting, you will be rewarded. Emperor, please reward me." The empress dowager smiled. She was indeed quite happy today.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was happy, the Emperor was naturally happy as well. He looked at Nalan Youyou and said," Nalan Youyou, accept the decree!”
"This subject's daughter accepts the decree."
"Nalan Youyou is a smart girl. Today, Nalan Youyou is a third-grade female official of our dynasty.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120184:05AM
